elissa harrington is out in the middle of the rain. looks like just light showers but watch out, elissa, heavier rains coming your way. >> reporter: just what i wanted to hear. out here in corte madera, there's a lot of localized flooding a big puddle as drivers head on 101 north and we're also dealing with wind. check the flag across the street. it's wet, windy and cold, about 52 degrees where we are. now, the bay area is waking up to the first significant rain in the season. chp is asking for people to keep their speeds down. some flooding areas are larkspur, oakland, calistoga and antioch. there's actually been an accident in oakland. give yourselves plenty of extra time to drive, drive slow, keep space between you and the car in front of you. also tap your brakes to avoid hydroplaning. it's not affecting traffic yet. if you look at 101 you can see cars are moving swiftly but across the way you can see our caltrans vehicle. there have been crews out here this morning monitoring the area making sure that they clear out any lanes that
